Best way to make my OS lightweight?

Hi, just wondering how you guys keep your operating systems running without too much stress on the computer. I'm using Linux Mint 17.3 MATE, as I thought Cinnamon would be too much for my old hardware :P
I would like my system to still be usable and look nice, but I need it to be lightweight. Can I have the best of both worlds? What are your setups like?
